Kurt Cobain dissed, compared to Justin Bieber

Kids today. They have no respect for rock legends. For example, take the brouhaha that happened on Twitter yesterday.

Justin Bieber bigger than Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain? Really, kiddos? This calls for a time out. Drink your milk. Get off my lawn. An for the love of all that is holy, listen to some real music.

The squabble started when fan “Amanda Bieber” tweeted this message: “Kurt Cobain (some rock singer) died in 1994, the same year Justin Bieber was born. RT if you think Bieber is Kurt reincarnated.”

The tweet, reportedly written by a 14-year-old girl, launched a brawl that trended worldwide. Her comment was retweeted thousands of times and plastered all over Facebook, causing the young Bieber fan to get a little cocky.

“Kurt Cobain is trending because of my tweets about how Bieber is much better than him,” she wrote. “I made you relevant Kurt, you owe me! :)”

She went on to say that Bieber accomplished more in 18 years than John Lennon did during his whole life, and that she is “NEVER gonna forgive my mom for not buying me Bieber’s Limited Platinum Package of his album :( I hope she gets eaten by an alligator.”

I’m not entirely convinced this account is for real — at least, I really hope it’s not. But fictional or not, the story has a pretty funny ended.
